We are teaming up with the Family Resource Center to host a series of three “Picnic & Play” meet-ups on Fridays at parks in the North Country this summer. After listening to what families we were looking for, we came up with fun offerings at three different locations that will help bring people together and take advantage of our town’s assets. We will be offering free peanut butter & jelly sandwiches, applesauce, and cold bottled water for families to enjoy a picnic together, paired with fun things to do.
On July 19th we will get together at the River Walk in Colebrook. Park at the Municipal Parking Lot just off of Main Street and look for the sign in the corner of the lot. As you walk out onto the path there is a clearing with a lawn where we will gather for a picnic. Bring along a blanket to sit on if you’d like. We’ll hand out nature identification cards for kids to spot plants and animals as we set off to walk on the River Walk path. The Colebrook Public Library storywalk is on the further end of the path, and is a nice feature to check out, as well.
We hope that these opportunities to gather will increase social connections in our communities, open up eyes to the wonderful places we have in our towns, and provide fun ways for families to enjoy time together this summer.
